Magmatic sulfide-rich nickel-copper deposits related to picrite and (or) tholeiitic basalt dike-sill complexes: A preliminary deposit model

Reassessment of the volume of the Las Aguilas mafic-ultramafic intrusives, San Luis, Argentina, based on an alternative geophysical model

“…Even large bodies of mafic rocks such as the Mafic Complex of the Ivrea zone (Southern Alps, Northern Italy) produce only a local metamorphic aureole of w2 km (Barboza et al, 1999;Peressini et al, 2007) and the big Noril'sk-Talnakh world class NiCu-Platinum Group Minerals intrusion has an aureola of metamorphic and metasomatic influence of only 400 m (Schulz et al, 2010). Also, the mafic-ultramafic layered gabbros of the Tecka Formation caused a centimetric-to decimetric-scale aureole of contact metamorphism in their sedimentary host rocks (Poma, 1986).…”

Book Review: A Photographic Atlas of Flood Basalt Volcanism

“…A book like this would not have been possible 30 years ago. This is due primarily to two factors: [1] contributions from numerous studies over the last 30 years that have documented the significance of flood basalt volcanism in the geological record, including their links to mass extinction events (see Ernst and Youbi, 2017 for an overview and numerous references), economically significant mineralization (Kamenov et al, 2007;Schulz et al, 2010), and groundwater resources (Burns et al, 2015), and CO 2 sequestration (McGrail et al, 2006).…”

Chemical Characteristics of Ore-Bearing Intrusions and the Origin of PGE–Cu–Ni Mineralization in the Norilsk Area

“…Primary magmas are also believed to play an important role in a deposit's genesis. This suggestion has been reflected in several classifications taking into account both magma compositions and their tectonic settings [7,8,13,20,21]. However, the relation of the major and trace element contents in magmas with the formation of deposits is rarely considered in the models constructed for single ore-bearing intrusions such as Sudbury, Jinchuan and Voisey's Bay [22][23][24].…”
